I used to suffer in a bad way with allergies, so did a lot of
research into the cause and of course most studies point to dust
mites being a major problem. So on further investigations, I
discovered there is a major problem in the manufacture of tissues.
They atract dust mites, so if you have an allergy and then use
tissues you are actually making things worse by breathing in further
dust mites.

I have put a link to a report showing this, in teh file section, and
would sufggest that anyone who sufferes any form of allergy, never
again use tissues, and use proper (cotton) handkerchiefs. They are
of course better for the environmwent also.

If you are not convinced of this, take a clean tissue from a box,
and hold it against a window, and you will clearly see the dust
mites that have been drawn to the tissue. Do the same thing with a
handkerchief and you will see none. When I do get any hint of
allergies, I simply make sure I have 3 or 4 clean handkerchiefs with
me. Problem solved...Sharon
